At present, more and more corporate employees in the world are beginning to move towards mobile office. They will use their favorite wireless devices such as smartphones and tablets for personal applications and work, such as the simplest use of mobile phones to send and receive email . Forrester Research ’s research shows that the number of mobile office workers currently exceeds one billion—about one-third of the world ’s workforce.

Such high-speed growth will undoubtedly bring more new pressures on enterprises. Among the respondents surveyed by Aberdeen Research, 98% said they have or will soon support employees in mobile communications. In 2011, enterprise mobility will no longer be "optional" but a "required" business reality.
Existing smartphones and tablets, including a series of new products exhibited at CES this month, are changing the way people communicate, collaborate and innovate. While bringing more convenience and convenience to individual users, the wave of enterprise mobility also promises to bring efficiency and innovation based on mobile devices to the office environment.
However, the increasing deployment of mobile devices has also made the security issues of mobile devices more and more prominent. According to Juniper Networks survey data, the number of malware and virus attacks on mobile devices increased by 250% in 2010. 59% of employees still use their mobile phones to work without permission, which obviously lays a groundwork for potential mobile security threats.
Juniper's investigation also showed that the US mobile phone theft case involved two million mobile users last year. In the office environment, a Fortune 15 company found that 5% (25,000) mobile phones were infected with malware. According to a recent Aberdeen survey, even a single mobile data violation error can cost between US $ 140,000 and US $ 1 million.
Therefore, IT managers will also face some real security issues when faced with new challenges brought by cloud computing, open Android devices, social collaboration, and networking. In fact, mobile device security concerns have always been an important reason for limiting the popularity of enterprise mobility.
In the past, such concerns made devices running the RIM operating system or Microsoft Windows versions the main "supported" mobile devices in the office environment. However, with the continued popularity of other devices such as iPhones, iPads, and a large number of Android smartphones, more and more employees are personally carrying personal devices to the office. Approximately 40% of employees use a mobile phone for work and private activities (according to Juniper data), while nearly a quarter of mobile employees use equipment that is not managed (according to Forrester data).
In fact, there are many technical methods and methods to meet the needs of enterprise mobile security, these methods include local or handheld device security, mobile device management (MDM) and terminal security.
Local security and control solutions are implemented by device manufacturers in mobile phones, including data encryption, remote scanning of mobile phones, remote scanning of on-board flash memory, and support for corporate security policies. In addition, a large number of third-party vendors also provide MDM solutions to help IT departments manage the performance and configuration of employees ’mobile devices and restrict access to corporate information for mobile devices that do not comply with corporate regulations. Other manufacturers provide mobile terminal security measures such as encryption, antivirus and malware protection.
However, the status of enterprise mobile security still has defects in some key areas, and there are obvious shortcomings in enterprise security integrated solutions.
The restrictions imposed by many companies are too cumbersome for mobile devices for private use. Employees have to carry two different devices, which not only reduces work efficiency, but also increases corporate vulnerabilities. More importantly, the mobile operating system and even the security software that protects the device cannot stop numerous attacks, which will threaten the integrity of the mobile device and the security of the transmitted information.
In response to this situation, OK Labs will release a new product, SecureIT Mobile Enterprise Edition, in February 2011. This is a mobile virtualization software and service solution to effectively solve these problems.
By installing trusted (or restricted) virtual machines and untrusted (or unrestricted) virtual machines in different security zones on the same physical device, Secure IT Mobile Enterprise Edition satisfies personal applications and enterprise applications well Demand.
In addition, by isolating mobile enterprise assets, including MDM agents and terminal security software, as well as common data and applications, the program effectively “protects the protection equipmentâ€.
